My programmable Big Trax futuristic tank, Colecovison, the Green Machine big wheel, that Red BMX Bike, Jody my German Shepard/Lab puppy for my birthday, and now the studio floor… I am sure there are other things I would have on the “happy to have” list, kids, marriage, blah, blah, blah… but I am so happy to have a floor. One down, one to go. We are getting close.

Merry Christmas to you all. I got a gift of a door today, so I figured a wreath on it and a tree in the window would be a nice addition for the barn’s first Christmas. Thank you to all for looking at this space, I hope you all have a great holiday and time with friends and family.

The town of Medway is going through a Renaissance, construction everywhere. In the last few weeks, two projects started to wrap up. Last week we celebrated the opening of Oakland Park, today Choate Park was unveiled. They both look great. Here is Choate, a new playground, a new pavilion, incredible job by all involved.

Last week a new addition to the family arrived. Smaller than most, retro in many ways, so far I am enjoying its company. The Fujifilm X100F, I will call her the Mistress, since ‘side piece’ seems too risky.

So right after Thanksgiving my wife and I took a day off and went Christmas shopping… though it was not something we were looking for, we saw a couch we liked at some mall store. Long story short, we ended up at Jordan’s, we bought no Christmas presents that day and anything that was bought was delivered today. Josie approves. Merry Christmas to us.

Spent most of the day setting up the studio for tomorrow’s marathon of Holiday Mini Sessions. It is also ready for this Saturday’s Open House 9-3. Come on down, tons of photos, all on sale. Check out the details below.

A new addition, a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, joined the family today. I am saying goodbye to both the Tacoma and the Mini Cooper. Today the Tacoma left, I had that truck longer than any car I ever owned. So many family trips, over 100K of my own miles in 8 years. It will be missed but it was time. I have not owned a new as in ‘all the miles will belong to me’ car in over 20 years. I paid $4500 for a brand new Geo Metro once, I am pretty sure that does not count. My camera cost more than that.
